HIRPO20160201: Mobility Research for

High-Frequency Network

1 Theme: Future Networks

2 Subject: architecture and resource management

List of Abbreviations

NR: New RAT

RLF: Radio Link Failure

RRM: Radio Resource Management

BRS: Beam Reference Signal

3 Background

The new RAT (NR) will consider frequency ranges up to 100 GHz. The radio

characteristics of NR may include large path loss, enlarged noise power (due

to large bandwidth), small cell coverage and large signal variation. To

overcome high frequency channel condition, the beamforming technology may

be used in some scenarios. However in general one beam has relatively

narrow coverage. Also the UE may be receiving more than one beam in a cell.

This brings huge challenges to mobility management, e.g. beam acquisition,

beam tracking, beam-based RRM measurement, RLF detection.

Moreover, this small coverage and fragile channel characteristic of NR lead to

frequent handovers and handover failures which UE experiences. Ping-pong

also happens more frequently in NR. As a result, mobility performance will be

HIRP OPEN 2016 Future Networks

6

degraded unless mobility mechanism is improved in NR compared to the

current LTE.

So, it is a valuable research direction to investigate the measurement and

mobility mechanism in high frequency to ensure good mobility performance in

NR.

4 Scope

Beam-based RRM measurement and RLF detection mechanisms

Investigate the beam-based RRM measurement and RLF detection

mechanisms, including beam acquisition, beam tracking, beam-based RRM

measurement (e.g. BRS design, how to measure, how to be averaged and

how to trigger measurement report), RLF detection, avoid and/or quickly react

to sudden SINR drops due to beamforming, and so on;

Mobility mechanisms in high frequency

Investigate the mobility mechanisms in high frequency, including how to

decrease the handover failure and Ping-Pong rate, ensuring 0ms handover

interruption time, and so on;

5 Expected Outcome and Deliverables

Technical reports of beam-based RRM measurement and RLF detection

mechanisms;

Technical reports of mobility mechanisms in high frequency;

HIRPO20160202: Wireless Power Supply for Low

Power Consumption Equipment by Base Station

1 Theme: Future Networks

2 Subject: IRF

List of Abbreviations

RFID: Radio Frequency IDentification

3 Background

Limited device battery life has always been a key consideration in the design of

modern mobile wireless technologies. Frequent battery

replacement/recharging is often costly due to the large number of wireless

devices in use, and even infeasible in many critical applications (e.g., sensors

embedded in structures and implanted medical devices).

Categories and Applications

RF-enabled wireless energy transfer (WET) technology provides an attractive

solution by powering wireless devices with continuous and stable energy over

the air. By leveraging the far-field radiative properties of electromagnetic (EM)

waves, wireless receivers could harvest energy remotely from RF signals

radiated by an energy transmitter. RF-enabled WET enjoys many practical

advantages, such as wide operating range, low production cost, small receiver

form factor, and efficient energy multicasting thanks to the broadcast nature of

EM waves.

One important application of RF-enabled WET is wireless powered

communication (WPC), where wireless devices use harvested RF energy to

HIRP OPEN 2016 Future Networks

9

transmit/decode information to/from other devices. Without being interrupted

by energy depletion due to communication usage, WPC is expected to

improve user experience and convenience, with higher and more sustainable

throughput performance than conventional battery-powered communication.

WPC can also be applied in sensors with much lower maintenance cost and

enhanced flexibility in practical deployment.

Due to the high attenuation of microwave energy over distance, RF-enabled

WET is commonly used for supporting low power devices, such as RFID tags

and sensors. However, recent advances in antenna technologies and RF

energy harvesting circuits have enabled much higher microwave power to be

efficiently transferred and harvested by wireless devices. Therefore, WPC will

be an important building block of many popular commercial and industrial

systems in the future, including the upcoming Internet of Things/Everything

(IoT/IoE) systems consisting of billions of sensing/RFID devices as well as

large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Model of (Power + Communication) vs. Model of Energy Harvesting

We also envision RF-enabled WET as a key component of the “last-mile”

power delivery system, with the smart electrical power gird forming the

backbone or core power network. Before proceeding to the discussion of

RFenabled WET/WPC, it is worth pointing out its relation to another green

communication technique, energy harvesting (EH), where wireless devices

harness energy from energy sources in the environment not dedicated to

powering wireless devices, such as solar power, wind power, and ambient EM

radiation.

Unlike RF-based EH from ambient transmitters, the energy source of WET is

stable and, more importantly, fully controllable in its transmit power, waveforms,

and occupied time/frequency dimensions to power the energy receivers. With

HIRP OPEN 2016 Future Networks

10

a controllable energy source, a WPC network (WPCN) could be efficiently built

to power multiple communication devices with different physical conditions and

service requirements. Besides, with RF enabled WET, information could also

be jointly transmitted with energy using the same waveform. Such a design

paradigm is referred to as simultaneous wireless information and power

transfer (SWIPT), which has proved to be more efficient in spectrum usage

than transmitting information and energy in orthogonal time or frequency

channels.

HIRPO20160206: Research on Ambient Backscatter

Wireless Communication Technology

1 Theme: Future Networks

2 Subject: radio transmission technology

3 Background

In traditional backscatter communication (e.g., RFID), a device communicates

by modulating its reflections of an incident RF signal (and not by generating

radio waves). Hence, it is orders of magnitude more energy-efficient than

conventional radio communication.

Ambient backscatter differs from RFID-style backscatter in three key respects.

Firstly, it takes advantage of existing RF signals so it does not require the

deployment of a special-purpose power infrastructure—like an RFID

reader—to transmit a high-power (1W) signal to nearby devices. This

avoids installation and maintenance costs that may make such a system

impractical, especially if the environment is outdoors or spans a large area;

Second, and related, it has a very small environmental footprint because

no additional energy is consumed beyond that which is already in the air;

Finally, ambient backscatter provides device-to-device communication.

This is unlike traditional RFID systems in which tags must talk exclusively

to an RFID reader and are unable to even sense the transmissions of other

nearby tags.

Designing an ambient backscatter system is challenging for at least three

reasons.

HIRP OPEN 2016 Future Networks

20

Since backscattered signals are weak, traditional backscatter uses a

constant signal to facilitate the detection of small level changes. Ambient

backscatter uses uncontrollable RF signals that already have information

encoded in them. Hence it requires a different mechanism to extract the

backscattered information;

Traditional backscatter receivers rely on power-hungry components such

as oscillators and ADCs and decode the signal with relatively complex

digital signal processing techniques. These techniques are not practical for

use in a battery-free receiver;

Ambient backscatter lacks a centralized controller such as an RFID reader

to coordinate all communications. Thus, it must operate a distributed

multiple access protocol and develop functionalities like carrier sense that

are not available in traditional backscattering devices.

4 Scope

Survey on the Ambient Backscatter wireless communication technology;

Explore the maximum transmission distance and transmission rate via

Ambient Backscatter technology;

Use case study and solution study using Ambient Backscatter technology.

HIRPO20160207: Research on Haze Suppression

Using Electromagnetic Wave Agglomeration

1 Theme: Future Networks

2 Subject: IRF

List of Abbreviations

PM 2.5: Particulate Matter with diameter smaller than 2.5μm

EMW: Electromagnetic Wave

3 Background

Haze weather is growing to be a global issue, which not only decreases the

traffic visibility, but also causes disease among a large number of individuals,

especially in urban area. Traditional methods of suppressing haze can merely

be used in a confined space, usually connected to a stove, which is widely

applied in coal fields. With respect to urban area, however, the haze created by

plenty of sources including automobile exhaust as well as the residues of dust

and powder from surrounding factories, is everywhere in the open space. Even

though the indoor air cleaner can exert some function, the expensive price for

an average family is a financial burden; and furthermore, the majority of people

should go outside in daily life. Therefore, a haze suppression approach for

open space is significant and emergency for protecting the environment

particularly in a heavy haze day.

Electromagnetic wave (EMW), widely used in wireless communication,

broadcasting, radar, etc., is nearly the only technology that propagates freely in

the open space and tends to be safe by controlling the transmit power. The

HIRP OPEN 2016 Future Networks

23

implement of approaching EMW to haze suppression could make great

benefits for both public health and commercial profit. Research on this

possibility is, in a word, valuable.

4 Scope

1) Valid parameters of the EMW for haze suppression: the parameter scope of

the EMW which is valid for suppressing the concentration of PM2.5, especially

the power and frequency instigating more than 20% of the PM2.5 particles

agglomerated to PM10, should be obtained with experiment and/or theoretic

proof;

2) Charging scheme on the base station: for the outdoor haze weather, the

particles should be charged sufficient for electrical agglomeration;

3) Device design: minimizing the size and power of the device for the particle

agglomeration, for being settled on base station.

5 Expected Outcome and Deliverables

1 survey reports on key technology of the EMW for haze suppression;

3 Background

NFV change the way how carrier networks are architected by separating

software and hardware and leveraging virtualization technology. It brings great

flexibility, reduces service deployment complexity and speeds up service

deployment. To obtain these benefits, however, network operators have to

spend huge amount of money on carrier grade servers and operation &

maintenance. To further reduce expenses, their network could be constructed

on the public cloud. Therefore, a slice resource management mechanism that

take advantage of the public cloud service should be established to guarantee

a carrier grade service.

3 Background

The integration of vertical markets (e.g. smart car, e-health, smart city, Internet

of Things, etc.) and the ability to support real-time critical services (e.g. virtual

reality office, real-time remote computing for mobile terminal, traffic safety and

efficiency etc.) are needed in 5G network era. Network slices as an end-to-end

virtual resource for connection will satisfy these diverse service requirements.

HIRPO20160212: Trajectory Modeling and Generation

for Mobile Users

1 Theme: Future Networks

2 Subject: others

3 Background

Location is a unique asset for mobile operators, with wide coverage,

all-weather, high frequency, etc. Open location ability through open API can

create new revenue model. However the accuracy of user position acquired

from network is not high, that is why we need the trajectory recovery algorithm.

It requires a lot of location data of multi users to refine relative algorithm, but it

is hard to get those data. Obtain large quantities of user location data through

simulation has a positive impact on the trajectory recovery algorithm.

4 Scope

Investigation and analysis of the current mobile user tracking information,

include accuracy, sampling rate, magnitude, cost, as well as the content

and sampling rate of MR (measurement report);

Analysis of Integrated map data in simulation platform, and generate user

trajectory automatically by map data;

Modeling trajectory in simulation platform, and build large-scale scenarios,

output a large number of user trajectory, align with trajectory recovery

algorithm.
